Customer Feedback

“We think the training provided by KUNZ Aircraft Recovery School was wonderful. Besides the recovery training itself we were taught to work disciplined and tidy while recovering an aircraft. Many thanks for everything”

—  DHMI, Turkey  —

In theoretical training, customers are introduced to the recovery scenario

Experienced aircraft recovery trainers will provide them with the crucial knowledge required for a successful recovery, including the Stages of Recovery (Survey / Plan / Prepare / Recover / Report), analysis of Aircraft Recovery Manuals, up to date safety instructions as well as the calculation of the COG (Center of Gravity) and its influence on recovery equipment.

Lifting of the aircraft, reinforcing of the ground and aircraft movement will be explained and prepared in detail. Guidelines to the right recovery team structure are discussed in plenum.

In practical training, customers are able to perform recovery training on a discarded TU-134 A and A320

KUNZ Aircraft Recovery Training Academy teaches the customer the right way to solve recovery situations using KUNZ leading edge aircraft recovery equipment. In practical training, customers are able to perform recovery training on a discarded TU-134 A and A320. With this opportunity, KUNZ Aircraft Recovery Training Academy is on the one hand able to simulate all conceivable recovery scenarios and offers hands-on training on the other hand.

Besides our “standard” recovery training catalogue, customers are able to compile a training programm tailored to their needs.

Virtual classroom Aircraft Recovery Training

KUNZ Aircraft Recovery School GmbH now also offers a live KUNZ Aircraft Recovery Virtual Classroom. The live sessions of this virtual classroom are delivered by a KUNZ aircraft recovery instructor, experienced in delivering practical and theoretical courses to the international aviation industry and military organizations worldwide.

The duration of each course is one day and is split into two interactive virtual classroom sessions between 150-180 minutes, held via MS Teams in English language. Each participant will be awarded a training certificate after completion of the course.
